This is a great cooler weather chowder that comes together quickly.We like this with crusty rolls and maybe a side salad.After I brown my sausage, I drain it in a colander and then run hot water over it to remove as much grease as I can and then add it back to the pot, after I've wiped it out with paper towels. Originally from a February 1983 issue of Southern Living.
Ingredients:
2 lbs bulk sausage (can use half mild and half spicy or all spicy if you're brave!)
4 cups water
2 (16 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans
2 (16 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1 large bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Directions:
1. Brown sausage in a Dutch oven, stirring to crumble; drain off drippings.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
3. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
4. Remove bay leaf before serving.
